(a)The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any specified item of Shared Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) or other event that causes any such item to no longer be Shared Collateral (including in connection with the First Lien Collateral Agent’s foreclosure upon, or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) other than a release granted upon or following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Liens granted to the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral to secure Notes Obligations shall terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with the termination and release of all First Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure the First Lien Obligations; provided that, in the case of any such sale, transfer or other disposition of Shared Collateral or other event that causes any such item to no longer be Shared Collateral (other than any sale, transfer or other disposition or other event that causes any such item to no longer be Shared Collateral in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral), the Liens granted to the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties shall not be so released if such release of First Lien Secured Parties’ Liens is granted upon or following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations. Upon delivery to the Notes Indenture Representatives of confirmation stating that any such termination and release of Liens securing the First Lien Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective concurrently with such termination and release of the Liens granted to the Notes Secured Parties and the Notes Indenture Representatives) and any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Borrower or any other Grantor, the Notes Indenture Representatives will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Borrower’s or the other Grantor’s sole cost and expense, and without any representation or warranty by or recourse to the Notes Indenture Representatives, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the Liens.

(b)The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any guarantor under the First Lien Documents or other event that causes any such Person to no longer be a guarantor (including in connection with the First Lien Collateral Agent’s foreclosure upon, or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) other than a release granted upon or following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, any guarantees to the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties to guarantee Notes Obligations shall terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with the termination and release of all

12

such guarantees under the First Lien Documents; provided that, in the case of any such sale, transfer or other disposition of any guarantor or other event that causes any such Person to no longer be a guarantor other than a release granted upon or following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the guarantees made to the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties shall not be so released if such release of First Lien Secured Parties’ guarantees is made upon or following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations. Upon delivery to the Notes Indenture Representatives of a certification stating that any such termination and release of guarantees for the benefit of the First Lien Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective concurrently with such termination and release of the guarantee made to the Notes Secured Parties and the Notes Indenture Representatives) and any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Borrower or any other Grantor, the Notes Indenture Representatives will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Borrower’s or the other Grantor’s sole cost and expense, and without any representation or warranty by or recourse to the Notes Indenture Representatives, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the guarantee.

(c)The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Notes Indenture Representatives or such Notes Secured Party or in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 5.01(a) and Section 5.01(b), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a) and Section 5.01(b), including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release, without any representation or warranty by or recourse to the First Lien Collateral Agent.

(d)Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, hereby consents to the application of proceeds of Shared Collateral to the repayment of First Lien Obligations pursuant to the First Lien Documents (including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), provided that nothing in this Section 5.01(d) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Notes Indenture Representatives or the Notes Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Notes Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Notes Collateral Document, in the event the terms of a First Lien Collateral Document and a Notes Collateral Document each require any Grantor (i) to make payment in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, (ii) to deliver or afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of Shared Collateral with, (iii) to register ownership of any item of Shared Collateral in the name of or make an assignment of ownership of any Shared Collateral or the rights thereunder to, (iv) cause any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or other Person acting in a similar capacity to agree to comply, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, with instructions or orders from, or to treat, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, as the entitlement holder, (v) hold any item of Shared Collateral in trust for (to the extent such item of Shared Collateral cannot be held in trust for multiple parties under applicable law), (vi) obtain the agreement of a bailee or other third party to hold any item of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or,

13

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower or any other Grantor may substitute, exchange or add any asset as Shared Collateral (including by granting Liens on new or additional assets to secure both the First Lien Obligations and the Notes Obligations), without the consent of the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party, so long as (i) such substitution, exchange or addition is permitted under the First Lien Documents and the Notes Documents and (ii) the First Lien Collateral Agent has, prior to the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party, a Lien on such substituted, exchanged or additional asset, with the priority relative to the Notes Obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree to promptly execute and deliver such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to evidence its Lien or the applicable priority on any substituted, exchanged or additional Shared Collateral and to effectuate the intent of this provision. For the avoidance of doubt, if after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations any such substitution, exchange or addition is permitted under the Notes Documents, the Borrower or any other Grantor may effect such substitution, exchange or addition without the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, may release its Lien on any item of Shared Collateral securing the Notes Obligations if such release is permitted under the Notes Indenture and the other Notes Documents, without the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party; provided that (i) such release does not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens on such Shared Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations or the rights or remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party with respect thereto, and (ii) such released asset shall, upon such release, cease to constitute Shared Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement (but shall continue to constitute First Lien Collateral to the extent provided in the First Lien Documents). Upon any such release, the Notes Indenture Representatives shall promptly notify the First Lien Collateral Agent in writing of such release and shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to evidence such release.

Section 5.02Insurance and Condemnation Awards. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Documents, (a) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Grantor, (b) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (c) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared

14

Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of the Shared Collateral, shall be paid (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of First Lien Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents (including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), (ii) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the Notes Indenture Representatives for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Notes Documents and (iii) third, if no First Lien Obligations or Notes Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.

Section 5.03Amendments to Debt Documents.

(a)The First Lien Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Indebtedness under the First Lien Documents may be Refinanced, in each case, without the consent of any Notes Secured Party.

(b)Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Notes Document may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, or entered into, and no Indebtedness under the Notes Documents may be Refinanced, to the extent such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification or Refinancing, or the terms of such new Notes Document, would (i) contravene any provision of this Agreement, (ii) unless the resulting Indebtedness would otherwise expressly be permitted under the First Lien Documents, change to earlier dates, or add any additional dates of, any scheduled dates for payment of principal (including the final maturity date), mandatory redemptions or of interest on Indebtedness under such Notes Document, (iii) prohibit or in any way limit the Borrower or any Grantor from making any payments under or permitted under the First Lien Documents, (iv) increase the interest rate, fees or premiums payable thereunder, (v) add additional or more restrictive mandatory prepayments, covenants or events of default thereunder (other than covenants and events of default also added to the First Lien Documents at the election of the First Lien Collateral Agent), (vi) increase the principal amount of the Notes Obligations, or (vii) reduce the capacity to incur Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations.

(c)The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that the Company and the Borrower must cause each Notes Collateral Document under the Notes Indenture to include the following language (or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Notes Indenture Representatives pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties (as defined in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Notes Indenture Representatives hereunder is subject to the limitations and

15

provisions of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement dated as of July 7, 2026 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), among Fortress Credit Corp., as First Lien Collateral Agent, Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, as Notes Indenture Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, the Borrower and each other Grantor party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(d)In the event that the First Lien Collateral Agent enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in First Lien Collateral) in a manner that is applicable to all First Lien Documents, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Notes Collateral Document without the consent of the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party and without any action by the Notes Indenture Representatives, the Borrower or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall (A) remove assets subject to the Junior Liens or release any such Liens, except to the extent that such release is permitted or required by Section 5.01(a) and provided that there is a concurrent release of the corresponding First Liens or (B) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Notes Indenture Representatives in their role as Notes Indenture Representatives without its prior written consent and (ii) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given by the Borrower to the Notes Indenture Representatives within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent (provided that the failure to deliver any such notice pursuant to the terms hereof shall not have any effect on the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent to each comparable Notes Collateral Document).

(e)The Borrower agrees to deliver, to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Notes Indenture Representatives copies of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the First Lien Documents or the Notes Documents and (ii) any new Notes Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no fee letters constituting First Lien Documents shall be required to be disclosed to the Notes Indenture Representatives or any other Notes Secured Party.

Section 5.04Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Notes Documents and applicable law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any provision of this Agreement and are not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement and would not result in the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Notes Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise in contravention of this Agreement by the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect

16

of Shared Collateral (or the exercise of unsecured creditor rights against the Borrower or any other Grantor, to the extent such exercise would be in contravention of this Agreement). In the event the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Notes Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing First Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral.

Section 5.05Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a)The First Lien Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any First Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the First Lien Collateral Agent, or of agents or bailees of such Person (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), or if it shall at any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for the Notes Indenture Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Notes Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.

(b)In the event that the First Lien Collateral Agent (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the Notes Indenture Representatives and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Notes Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.

(c)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents (including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) as if the Liens under the Notes Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(d)The First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral,

17

except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the Notes Indenture Representatives for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Notes Indenture Representatives.

(e)The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of the Notes Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party, and the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, hereby waive and releases the First Lien Collateral Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Agent’s roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.

(f)Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ request and sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Notes Indenture Representatives, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so (including subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) solely in the case of the First Lien Collateral Agent, authorize the Grantors to notify any applicable insurance carrier that the First Lien Collateral Agent is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Notes Indenture Representatives are entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the First Lien Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the First Lien Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The First Lien Collateral Agent has no obligations to follow instructions from the Notes Indenture Representatives or any other Notes Secured Party in contravention of this Agreement.

(g)Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Borrower or any Grantor to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party or any assurance of payment in respect thereof, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

Section 5.06Refinancings. If the Borrower or any Grantor consummates any Refinancing of any First Lien Obligations that would otherwise effect a Discharge of First Lien

18

Obligations, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon any Refinancing of any First Lien Obligations, the provisions of this Agreement related to (i) the First Lien Collateral Agent shall apply to any successor First Lien Collateral Agent resulting from such Refinancing automatically and without further action by any party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, without any joinder, amendment, or supplement to this Agreement), and any successor First Lien Collateral Agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers, and obligations of the "First Lien Collateral Agent" hereunder, (ii) the holders of such First Lien Obligations as a result of the Refinancing shall automatically constitute "First Lien Secured Parties" hereunder, (iii) the documents governing such Refinanced First Lien Obligations following such Refinancing shall automatically constitute "First Lien Documents" hereunder, (iv) the obligations under such First Lien Documents shall automatically constitute "First Lien Obligations" hereunder, and (v) the Liens securing such Refinanced First Lien Obligations shall have the same priority vis-à-vis the Notes Obligations as the original First Lien Obligations had immediately prior to such Refinancing, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Article VI
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

Section 6.01Financing Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, consents (or does not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or consents (or does not object) to the Borrower’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining of financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (such financing, the “DIP Financing”), then the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that they will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest, and will be deemed to have consented to (a) such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral unless the First Lien Collateral Agent shall oppose or object to such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral (in which case, neither the Notes Indenture Representatives nor any other Notes Secured Party shall seek any relief in connection therewith that is inconsistent with the relief being sought by the First Lien Secured Parties); (b) such DIP Financing, unless the First Lien Collateral Agent shall oppose or object to such DIP Financing, and, except to the extent permitted by the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any First Lien Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with the Liens securing such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection Liens provided to the First Lien Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the First Lien Collateral Agent; (c) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of First Lien Obligations made by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party; (d) any exercise by any First Lien Secured Party of the right to credit bid First Lien Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of First Lien Collateral or in

19

any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law; (e) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any First Lien Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on First Lien Collateral; or (f) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Grantor to which the First Lien Collateral Agent has consented or not objected that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and the Notes Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Notes Obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.

Section 6.02Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent.

Section 6.03Adequate Protection. The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent’s or First Lien Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the First Lien Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, then the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, may seek or request adequate protection solely in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral or a junior superpriority claim, which (A) Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing all First Lien Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and (B) superpriority claim is subordinated to all superpriority claims of the First Lien Secured Parties on the same basis as the other claims of the Notes Secured Parties are so subordinated to the claims of the First Lien Secured Parties under this Agreement, (C) the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that, under Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, such superpriority claim is not required to be paid in cash and (D) the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties shall in no event seek or request adequate

20

protection in the form of periodic cash payments, (ii) in the event the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of additional or replacement collateral, then the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall also be granted a First Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security for the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing the Notes Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement (and, to the extent the First Lien Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Notes Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral so granted to the Notes Secured Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02), and (iii) in the event the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a superpriority claim, then the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, agree that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the superpriority claim of the Notes Secured Parties (and, to the extent the First Lien Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Notes Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any such superpriority claim so granted to the Notes Secured Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02).

Section 6.04Preference Issues. If any First Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the First Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, hereby agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

21

Section 6.05Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, acknowledge and agree that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Notes Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Notes Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the First Lien Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Notes Secured Parties), the First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable) before any distribution is made in respect of the Notes Obligations, and the Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, hereby acknowledge and agree to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Notes Secured Parties.

Section 6.06No Waivers of Rights of First Lien Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Notes Secured Party, including the seeking by any Notes Secured Party of adequate protection or the assertion by any Notes Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Notes Documents or otherwise.

Section 6.07Application. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.

Section 6.08Other Matters. To the extent that the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, the Notes Indenture Representatives, on behalf of themselves and each Notes Secured Party, or such Notes Secured Party agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, provided that if requested by the First Lien Collateral

22

Agent, the Notes Indenture Representatives shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights; provided, however, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to credit bid the First Lien Obligations and further that none of the Notes Indenture Representatives or any other Notes Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support (directly or indirectly) any third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be) oppose, object to or contest such credit bid by the First Lien Collateral Agent.

Section 6.09506(c) Claims. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Notes Indenture Representatives, on behalf of themselves and each Notes Secured Party, agree that they will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral. Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, none of the Notes Indenture Representatives or any other Notes Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support (directly or indirectly) any third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any of First Lien Secured Party or the value of any claims of any such holder under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other applicable Bankruptcy Law.

Section 6.10Post-Petition Interest.

(a)None of the Notes Indenture Representatives or any other Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, premiums or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise.

(b)None of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Notes Indenture Representatives or any other Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise, to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Notes Indenture Representatives on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties on the Shared Collateral (after taking into account the First Lien Obligations); provided that if the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party shall have made any claim for First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses, such claim (i) shall have been approved or (ii) will be approved contemporaneously with the approval of any such claim by the Notes Indenture Representatives or any other Notes Secured Party.

Section 6.11Reorganization Securities.

(a)If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both

23

the First Lien Obligations and the Notes Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Notes Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b)No Notes Secured Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, unless such plan provides for the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

Section 6.12Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any First Lien Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. The Notes Indenture Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Notes Secured Party, waive any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any First Lien Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

Section 6.13Reliance. All loans and other extensions of credit and other obligations made or deemed made or incurred as of, on and after the date hereof by the First Lien Secured Parties to the Borrower or any Grantor shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. The Notes Indenture Representatives, on behalf of themselves and each Notes Secured Party, acknowledge that it and such Notes Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the First Lien Collateral Agent or other First Lien Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Notes Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit analysis or decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Notes Documents or this Agreement.

Section 6.14No Warranties or Liability. The Notes Indenture Representatives, on behalf of themselves and each Notes Secured Party, acknowledge and agree that neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the First Lien Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The First Lien Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit and other obligations under the First Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the First Lien Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit and other obligations without regard to any rights or interests that the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Party shall have any duty to the Notes Indenture Representatives or Notes Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or

24

results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with the Borrower or any Grantor (including the Notes Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the First Lien Obligations, the Notes Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.15Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a)any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Lien Document or any Notes Document;

(b)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Notes Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any First Lien Document or any Notes Document;

(c)any exchange of any security interest in any Shared Collateral or any other collateral or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Notes Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(d)the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any other Grantor; or

(e)any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to (i) the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the First Lien Obligations (other than the Discharge of First Lien Obligations subject to Section 5.06 and Section 6.04) or (ii) the Notes Indenture Representatives or Notes Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.

Article VII
Miscellaneous

Section 7.01Conflicts. Subject to Section 7.22, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any First Lien Document or any Notes Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Notes Indenture Representatives and the First Lien Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any First Lien Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement as

25

to such relative rights and obligations, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

Section 7.02Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Sections 5.06 and 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the First Lien Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary constituting First Lien Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 7.03Amendments; Waivers.

(a)No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified as follows: (i) any amendment, supplement or modification that solely reduces the rights of or increases the obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties shall require only the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Borrower; (ii) any amendment, supplement or modification that solely reduces the rights of or increases the obligations of the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties shall require only the written consent of the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Borrower; (iii) any amendment, supplement or modification that affects the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties and the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties, and does not increase the obligations of any Grantor, shall require only the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Notes Indenture Representatives, and (iv) any other amendment, supplement or modification shall require the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Borrower. Execution of any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement by the Borrower shall bind the Company and the other Grantors.

26

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any other party hereto or any other First Lien Secured Party, Notes Secured Party or Grantor: (i) any successor First Lien Collateral Agent shall become the First Lien Collateral Agent hereunder by succession in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such succession to be conclusively determined for the purposes of this Agreement by delivery of a written notice signed by both the exiting and succeeding First Lien Collateral Agent and provided to the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Borrower, (ii) any successor Notes Indenture Trustee shall become the Notes Indenture Trustee hereunder by succession in accordance with the Notes Indenture, such succession to be conclusively determined for the purposes of this Agreement by delivery of a written notice signed by both the exiting and succeeding Notes Indenture Trustee and provided to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Borrower, and (iii) any successor Notes Collateral Agent shall become the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder by succession in accordance with the Notes Indenture, such succession to be conclusively determined for the purposes of this Agreement by delivery of a written notice signed by both the exiting and succeeding Notes Collateral Agent and provided to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Notes Indenture Trustee and the Borrower. Each exiting and succeeding First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to give prompt written notice to the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Borrower following any succession of the First Lien Collateral Agent, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such succession. Each exiting and succeeding Notes Indenture Trustee agrees to give prompt written notice to the First Lien Collateral Agent, each other Notes Indenture Representative and the Borrower following any succession of the Notes Indenture Trustee, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such succession. Each exiting and succeeding Notes Collateral Agent agrees to give prompt written notice to the First Lien Collateral Agent, each other Notes Indenture Representative and the Borrower following any succession of the Notes Collateral Agent, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such succession. In connection with any succession described in this paragraph, but not as a condition to the effectiveness thereof, the parties to this Agreement agree to execute and deliver any documentation reasonably requested to evidence such succession for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 7.04Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. The First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Company, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the First Lien Obligations or the Notes Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Obligations or the Notes Obligations; provided that nothing in this Section 7.04 shall impose a duty on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Notes Indenture Representatives to keep itself informed of the financial condition or risk of non-payment beyond that which may be required under the First Lien Documents or Notes Documents, as applicable, to which the Notes Indenture Representatives is a party. The First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that the First Lien Collateral Agent, any First Lien Secured Party, the Notes Indenture Representatives or any Notes Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the

27

Notes Indenture Representatives and the Notes Secured Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the First Lien Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the First Lien Obligations as the First Lien Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent with the terms of the First Lien Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Notes Indenture Representatives, on behalf of themselves and each Notes Secured Party, assent to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the First Lien Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the First Lien Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

Section 7.07Additional Grantors. The Company and the Borrower agree that, if any Subsidiary or parent entity shall become a Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause such Subsidiary or parent entity to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex I. Upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Notes Indenture Representatives and the First Lien Collateral Agent. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 7.08Dealings with Grantors. Upon any application or demand by the Borrower or any Grantor to any of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Notes Indenture Representatives to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or under any Collateral Document (if such action is subject to the provisions hereof), at the request of such First Lien Collateral Agent or the Notes Indenture Representatives, the Borrower or such Grantor, as appropriate, shall furnish to such First Lien Collateral Agent or the Notes Indenture Representatives a certificate of a Responsible Officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement or such Collateral Document, as the case may be, relating to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

The First Lien Obligations may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Notes Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof.

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

B. The Grantors have entered into the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Pursuant to certain First Lien Documents and certain Notes Documents, certain newly acquired or organized Subsidiaries of the Company and the Borrower are required to enter into the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Section 7.07 of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Subsidiaries may become party to the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Notes Documents and First Lien Documents.

Accordingly, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.07 of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor, and the New Grantor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Bankruptcy Laws and by general principles of equity.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have received a

Annex I - 1

counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic method shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.11 of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as specified in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 8. The First Lien Collateral Agent is entering into this Supplement in its capacity as collateral agent under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the provisions of Article III of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall also apply to the First Lien Collateral Agent hereunder. The Company and the Borrower agree to reimburse the First Lien Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the First Lien Collateral Agent as required by the applicable First Lien Documents.
